Murray ready for Miss America pageant

July 14, 2014

By the time Miss Mississippiâ€™s judges had narrowed the field of 41 down to three Saturday night, they had guaranteed the crown would alight on a current Mississippi State University studentâ€™s head.

While Laura Lee Lewis of Brookhaven bore the title of Miss MSU, Miss Riverland Jasmine Murray of Columbus had been Miss MSU last year, and Miss Historic South Randi-Kathryn Harmon of Amory was also an MSU student. Joining these top three in the top five, placing fifth, was Miss North Central Mississippi Jessica Terrill, a Starkville native and MSU alumna. Joining those four in the top 10 was another MSU student, Miss Delta Blues Shelby Corn of Brandon.
